Why dont Asians have wisdom teeth?!


Question:

Why dont Asians have wisdom teeth?

my dad thinks that Asians dont have Wisdom teeth because they are higher on the evolutionary scale. but i think that the people who do have wisdom teeth are higher than the Asians because we "evoloved" to have them. wouldnt that make people with wisdom teeth more evolutionized?


Answers:

Don't know where your dad heard that or where you are getting your ideas, but it's patently false.

I've pulled plenty of wisdom teeth from all sorts of patients, including those of African descent, Native Americans, Caucasians, Asians, Pacific Islanders, Arabs, Jews, Hispanics, etc. Wisdom teeth don't discriminate.

My forceps and elevators don't discriminate either.. You can be black, white, yellow, red, green or polka-dot, I'll pull your wisdoms if it is within my capabilities and as long as I am properly compensated for my efforts. :-D
